Ascent Trip Report

I set up 2.5 days Hut to Hut traverse hike on 10/9-11. Day-1 at 10/9(Sat), I started to hike before 8AM on North Twin Trail to peakbag North Twin, South Twin, took a lunch at Galehead Hut, then, continued hike to Galehead Mtn and Mt Garfield and come back to Galehead Hut to stay overnight.

Day-2 at 10/10(Sun), I left Galehead Hut at 7:30AM, hiked up to South Twin Mtn, took Twinway Trail and Bondcliff Tr, to get to Mt Bond and Bondcliff. It was very windy and I was scared from Guyot area to 3 Bonds. After peakbagging BondCliff, came back to Mt Bond, then, went to West Bond quickly. Continued to go back to unlisted Mt Guyot, peakbagged Zealand Mtn and reached to Zealand Hut. I arrived hut at 4:20PM. It was a very long hike which is over 14 miles distance.

Day-3 at 10/11(Mon), it's easy hike. It's 5 miles from Zealand Hut to Zealand Rd by peakbagging Mt Hale on Lend-a-Hand and Hale Brook Trails. I left Hut at 7:40AM and came back to the parking lot at 10:20AM.
